Seeing how the allied responded to the first sightings of ME262's like: "What the HELL was THAT?" it isn't weird to say that people perceive shapes and appearances differently.
Saucer shape... it doesn't matter if it has a propeller if it looks reasonably different from a typical airplane design of that time. It doesn't even matter if it's super or not - an experiment always has some purpose, even if that is just to see it doesn't really work well.
However, adding these planes has little value to the sim since their performance wasn't the best at that time. But the community could add them later on.
Generally I have nothing against a wide variety of planes. Even stuff like Lerche was very fun to fly in IL-2. The number of real hardcore simmers is much less than those are actually average players and enjoying even absurd planes just for the fun, not for showing off their elite skills by downing everything in sight with the perfect plane for that matter.
So I just hope SoW will be moddable. I don't care how absurd a plane is if it's fun to play the game.
